Photographer Mark Brunner has spoken about the enduring legacy of the pictures he took in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1996 when protestors clashed with the KKK. Keshia Thomas, 18, put herself at physical risk to save the life of the stranger who had an SS tattoo and was wearing a confederate flag T-shirt. 'We would all like to be a bit like Keshia, wouldn't we? She didn't think about herself. She just did the right thing,' said Brunner. The photos continue to resonate with people to this day.
